Not long after Hinata ran out of the Hyuga clan's residence, she was quickly caught up by Naruto.
Naruto quickly grabbed Hinata's wrist.
Because at this time, Naruto clearly noticed that Hinata's mood was a bit wrong.
He was a little worried that Hinata would be doing impulsive thing.
Just like Haku before meeting Pops.
Hinata, whose wrist was grabbed, stopped.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata's tone of speech was choked, and occasionally tears could be seen falling from her chin to the ground: "Why is it like this? I just wanted my father to pay attention to my feelings..."
"I..." Hinata found herself a bit strange when facing her father. In her impression, she didn't seem to be that kind of person.
She didn't know where she got the courage to dare to talk to her father like this.
At this age, Hinata couldn't figure out any great truths.
She could only say such words: "I have become someone I don't recognize."
This sentence also happened to be Hinata's new understanding of herself.
After all, she wouldn't have been like this before.
"Naruto-kun, I really envy you for having Grandpa Whitebeard, a father who cares about your feelings." Hinata sniffed, and she slowly turned around.
She showed a smile that made people feel very distressed: "Father doesn't need me anymore, I have no use in my father's eyes. Naruto-kun, am I considered to have lost my family?"
"Idiot!!!"
Naruto imitated Whitebeard's action and gave Hinata a flick of love.
The light flick hit Hinata's forehead.
The smile on Naruto's face seemed to heal Hinata's heart.
"That uncle who is completely unqualified to be a father, although he said very hurtful words, he did not sever ties with you."
"Besides, you are going to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Since Pops also let you join the Whitebeard Pirates, you are now my family!" Naruto put his hands on Hinata's shoulders.
This action made Hinata's face of grievance and sadness slightly stunned.
"Hyuga Hinata, don't forget, from that moment on... you are my family!"
Naruto's tone was very firm.
"You haven't lost your family, you have a lot of family! Me, Pops, Sister Fuushi, Karin, Haku, Uncle Kisame, and your biological parents, these are all your family."
Naruto did not encourage Hinata to sever ties with the Hyuga clan.
He said very seriously: "Every person in the Whitebeard Pirates has only one family, that is, the big family of the Whitebeard Pirates. But you are different, you are the only one among us who has two families."
"It's just that one of your families here doesn't quite understand your thoughts. But as long as you give you enough time, you will definitely be able to prove to them that you are right."
Naruto combined his own experience to say to Hinata: "As long as you have a clear path, such as wanting to become the Hokage of Konohagakure, or wanting to become stronger..."
"As long as you strive for this path! That Byakugan uncle will definitely understand you and recognize you in the future!"
These words fell into Hinata's ears.
Undoubtedly, it was deafening.
This is also Naruto's own idea, because in Naruto's eyes... the people in the village do not recognize him, and Hinata's father does not recognize Hinata, there are some similarities between the two.
"Naruto-kun... family... effort... recognition..."
One by one, the keywords made Hinata a little dazed.
She stared at Naruto blankly.
Thousands of thoughts washed over Hinata's brain for more than half a minute.
Hinata's eyes began to show a bit of clarity.
"Naruto-kun, you are right!"
She finally stopped stuttering.
When Hinata turned around to look at Naruto, she also looked at the Hyuga clan's residence behind Naruto: "I want my father to recognize me, and I want my father to know that family is more important. One day, I will make my father understand."
But the more Hinata said, the weaker her tone became.
In the final analysis, she is still lack of self-confidence from her heart
At the same time, she didn't know what direction she was going to take.
What should I do to make my father recognize me?
How can he know that family is more important?
"Gurarararararara!" When Hinata was a little confused, Whitebeard had come over.
His laughter also caught Hinata's attention
"Even a bug has its own life direction!" Whitebeard slowly squatted down, but even if he squatted down with his size, he was as tall as a building.
"Stupid daughter! People who can't find their own life direction, have hard time to become a great hero of the sea!"
These four words made Hinata's eyes widen.
Daughter... daughter...
Am I being called a daughter by someone other than my father?
Hinata didn't know why, but she didn't have any objections to this.
Being called a daughter by a man like Whitebeard
There was a little joy in her heart.
Because this title in Hinata's eyes represents that Naruto's family also recognizes her and regards her as a family member.
"What's the matter with the main family and branch family of your broken clan? What's the matter with the inheritance of your broken clan?" As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard could see the root of the conflict between Hinata and Hiashi at a glance.
Hinata didn't expect to ask herself this question.
Although she is not very old, when her father is free, he often instills this kind of concept in her
She knows the Hyuga clan very well.
Hinata weakly replied: "Grandpa Whitebeard..."
"You have to call Pops!" Naruto interrupted: "Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates is Pops' son or daughter. Hinata, you are also Pops' daughter!"
Hinata was stunned.
Thinking that she is already Naruto's family and a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Hinata nodded heavily: "Hmm, I know, Naruto-kun!"
Hinata quickly accepted the fact that she had one more father.
She continued to answer: "Pops, my father once told me that the Hyuga clan had such a tradition a long time ago, and the entire Hyuga clan was divided into two parts. That is, the 'main family' and 'branch family' you asked about, Pops."
"My father said that this is done to ensure that the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga clan will not be spread outside, and also for the purity of the Hyuga clan and the inheritance of the main family."
"My father also said that the Hyuga main family needs to inherit the Byakugan bloodline from generation to generation, and the Hyuga branch family needs to sacrifice their lives to protect the main family. The people of the branch family need to carve a curse seal on their foreheads."
"Brother Neji, he also started to become more and more distant from me at that time, becoming colder and colder towards me..."
"He probably doesn't want to be branded with a curse seal, right?"
Hinata paused.
The old Hinata had long been trained to think in a certain way.
As long as it was something her father said, she thought there was nothing wrong with it, she would not question anything her father had mentioned, and she would not seriously consider whether it was right or wrong.
But now, after what happened tonight, Hinata, when she recalls every word her father once said, can't help but take it seriously with her own ideas.
She found that the traditional system of the clan...
It's too unfair for the branch family like brother Neji.
Are people from the branch family born to protect the main family with their lives?
And even have to be branded with a curse seal that looks very evil?
Even though Hinata herself is a member of the main family.
But she doesn't like this tradition.
"So it was because of this that brother Neji became more and more distant from me... even once when we met, brother Neji didn't respond to my greeting."
Hinata's mood was a bit low.
"Stupid daughter, do you think this is right?" After Whitebeard finished listening, he asked Hinata this sentence. Because Whitebeard could see at a glance that Hinata was a person with no opinion.
He is guiding Hinata's opinion step by step.
Every question Whitebeard asks, in other people's ears, there will be an impulse to answer, this is a question that does not allow silence.
Hinata thought about it
She shook her head.
"Pops, I think this is very wrong!" Hinata said seriously: "I don't know why the Hyuga clan has to be divided into the main family and the branch family. Can this really guarantee the Hyuga bloodline? I'm not sure, all I can feel is that the relationship between the branch family and the main family is becoming more and more distant."
"Do you want to change it?" Whitebeard asked with interest again, he could already see that the look in this little devil's eyes had become somewhat firm from the beginning of timidity and hesitation.
"Can... can I change it?" Hinata asked herself.
'Hinata, don't ask if you can, ask if you want to.' Naruto added fuel to the fire on the side.
"I want!" Hinata immediately said: "I want to change the current situation of the Hyuga clan! If the Hyuga clan no longer has the distinction of bloodline inheritance between the main family and the branch family, then my father will not always blame and not recognize me because of this, right?"
"Then brother Neji, he should not be hated me, right? Then all the people of the entire Hyuga clan will unite, right? Pops, I... I really want to change all this!"
Hinata's voice was no longer small, when she said the last sentence, she almost shouted out loud.
"Gurarararara! That's how it should be! Stupid daughter!"
Whitebeard didn't question Hinata's thoughts
He reached out a hand to Hinata, the smile on his face looked so heroic and atmospheric in Hinata's eyes, like the most heroic hero in the entire ninja world: "Since you are already my daughter, then you should consider yourself a part of the pirate crew! Your goal, your path... is also the goal and path of the Whitebeard Pirates! Your family will help you!"
"You have found your 'path'! Gurararararara! Are you willing to sincerely, not for the sake of my stupid son, but for the sake of yourself become my daughter? Hyuga Hinata!"
Family... help... daughter... Pops...
One by one, the keywords flashed through Hinata's mind.
She looked up at Whitebeard's sincere smile.
She also looked at the hand Whitebeard stretched out.
Hinata hurriedly put her two little hands on Whitebeard's big hand, just like a child who has found the most precious treasure in this life, and can't bear to let this treasure go away.
Hinata's nod was like a chick pecking at rice.
"I'm willing! I'm willing!"
"Pops!!!"
This "Pops" no longer carries any emotions that are compromised because of Naruto.
It is Hinata's heartfelt, most genuine emotion
And it is also the two words she shouted out without any false emotions.
"Gurarararara!!!"
Most of the people in the Hyuga clan don't know what Hinata said. They don't even know that this young lady has recognized Whitebeard as her adoptive father, boarded a pirate ship, and joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
They only know that the terrifying man called Whitebeard entered the Hyuga clan once, and then after he left, a terrifying momentum stunned almost all the people of the Hyuga clan.
Then, Whitebeard's laughter echoed over the entire Hyuga clan's residence.
It makes people's hair stand on end.
....
The Whitebeard Pirates have a temporary residence in the village of Konohagakure.
A newly built hotel opposite Naruto's house.
It is the temporary residence of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Because Whitebeard's size is too large, Uzumaki Fuushi and Kisame calculated together. Just next to this hotel, on a piece of undeveloped land, they used Earth Release Ninjutsu to build a super-large house suitable for Whitebeard.
As for whether the original owner of this undeveloped land is willing? Do you need to pay him for the land?
The Whitebeard Pirates won't care about this little thing.
They don't even bother to know who the owner of this wasteland is.
Even if they know who it is, they won't care.
They are pirates!
At this time.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening
The bright moon is in the sky.
The night wind is blowing.
"Eh?" Uzumaki Fuushi was very surprised, she looked at the timid Hinata: "Pops adopted a daughter with parents in Konohagakure? And she is also the young lady of the main family of the Hyuga clan? The Hyuga clan, I remember it's a big clan in Konohagakure, right?"
Uzumaki Fuushi thought that only those homeless children, only those children wandering in the ninja world, would choose to join the Whitebeard Pirates and join a big family to keep warm.
As a result, she didn't expect that the young lady of the prestigious Hyuga clan would also choose to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Naruto told Uzumaki Fuushi about Hinata's specific situation.
Uzumaki Fuushi quickly understood.
Although her biological parents are still in the world, although she herself comes from a large clan in Konohagakure, her father's suppression and blame and the decay and feudalism of the clan will indeed make a person hard to breathe in such an environment.
Uzumaki Fuushi also agrees with Naruto's point of view
Hinata's biological father...
He's not qualified at all!
"I see!" Uzumaki Fuushi smiled gently at Hinata: "No matter what kind of person you were before, as long as you join the Whitebeard Pirates, you are our family. My name is Uzumaki Fuushi, I am Karin's mother, and also Pops' daughter. I look forward to working with you in the future, Hinata."
"Hello," Hinata hurriedly greeted Uzumaki Fuushi.
"This is my daughter, Uzumaki Karin."
Uzumaki Fuushi introduced the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates to Hinata: "This is Haku, you should know him, after all, he is your classmate. And he is a boy, not a girl!"
"This is Hoshigaki Kisame, Kisame is a very powerful ninja. If you don't understand anything about Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, you can completely ask Kisame, he knows a lot."
At this time, Kisame had his arms crossed and leaned against the wall.
After hearing Uzumaki Fuushi's words, he smiled at Hinata.
But his face is really a bit scary.
Even a kind smile...
Also carries a bit of horror and bloodthirst.
"Gurararararara! To celebrate Hinata joining the Whitebeard Pirates, no one should sleep tonight!" Whitebeard's mouth raised a curve, he picked up a jar of strong wine: "Tonight, we feast!"
"Great! A feast!" Even though he had already eaten at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto's eyes still lit up at the word 'feast'.
Actually, this is also the way the Whitebeard Pirates welcome new members.
To treat new members of this big family.
The Whitebeard Pirates have always been very enthusiastic.
....
The next day.
Early morning
"Neji, what's wrong?" A younger member of the Hyuga clan, who was about the same age as Hyuga Neji, noticed that Hyuga Neji looked a bit strange, and he kept looking back on his way to school.
"....." Neji didn't answer, while on his way to the ninja school, he had some doubts in his heart.
Because, he didn't see Hinata.
Hyuga Hinata, the young lady of the main family, has already enrolled in the ninja school, so she should go to school from this road every day.
But he didn't find Hinata anywhere.
Neji frowned slightly.
"Neji?" The companion next to him was still a bit puzzled.
"Someone is missing." Neji answered calmly: "A person from the main family is missing."
"Main family? Hinata-sama?" The companion suddenly realized, and scratched his head a bit strangely: "Hiss! It seems so! She has already enrolled, right? Where did she go?"
"Heh... maybe she couldn't stand the hardship of the ninja school!" Neji sneered: "After all, she is a pampered young lady, how could she want to be with us..."
Neji hadn't finished his sentence.
His voice paused.
He don't know if it's a coincidence, when he got near the ninja school, he saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him.
It was Hyuga Hinata!
"Neji, it's Hinata-sama!" The companion also saw Hinata at a glance, both pairs of white eyes fell on Hinata, they also saw a few peers next to Hinata.
"Strange?" The companion was dumbfounded: "Why would she come to school from that direction? Isn't that the opposite direction of the Hyuga residence?"
Last night, it was indeed a big event for the Hyuga clan.
But whether it was Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the family, or those elders, and...
Those Jonin...
They all kept their mouths shut.
After all, for the Hyuga clan, the young lady of the main family was taken away by a pirate, even if there is a second daughter who can replace her, it is undoubtedly a shame, a family scandal.
As long as the Whitebeard Pirates do not publicize this matter, the high-levels of the Hyuga clan will remain silent.
And besides Hyuga Hiashi, there are a group of elders discussing "how to secretly make give a cursed seal to Hinata"
"That girl..."
Neji frowned, as if thinking of something in the past, he gritted his teeth
Neji: "Hmph... the main family!"
"..."
